"I didnt do it!" "It wasn't me!" "aku cakap aku tak buat,aku tak buatlah!"
Tipu tipu tipu.Aren't we tired of it,already?The fact is,we're not.hah that's why we never stop from doing it.
To lie is to state something that one knows to be
false or that one does not honestly believe to be true with the intention that a person will take it for the truth.Sometimes lies are not harmful at all,sometimes it can harm everyone.Lies are more acceptable and nicer to hear.We lied everyday..

Aminah :I potong rambut baru.a new haircut.hot kan? : D
Aminahton:Omg,you look so hot! (NOT!)

Abang :Kau yg pecahkan!
Adik :Kau yg pecahkan!
Abang :Kau yg pecahkan!

(and so on...)
There's a lot of situation that MADE us to tell a lie.Be it a white lie,pink lie,small lie,big lie.Same je.And the reason is also the same,that is
to save our pretty asses
Did you know that there are many types of lies and it has name,like for example white lies,bluffing,Jocose lie.
Surely you have heard of them:
Bluffing
To bluff is to pretend to have a capability or intention which one does not actually possess. Bluffing is an act of deception which is rarely seen as immoral when it takes place in the context of a game where this kind of deception is consented to in advance by the players. For instance, a gambler who deceives other players into thinking he has different cards to those which he really holds or an athlete who indicates he will move left and then actually dodges right is not considered to be lying (also known as a
feint). In these situations, deception is
acceptable and is commonly expected as a tactic.
Bold-faced lie
A bold-faced (often also referred to as bare-faced or bald-faced, although all three have slightly different meanings) lie is one which is told when it is obvious to all concerned that it is a lie. For example,
a child who has chocolate all around his mouth and denies that he has eaten any chocolate has told a
bold-faced lie.
Contextual lie
One can state part of the truth out of context, knowing that without complete information, it gives a false impression. Likewise, one can actually state accurate facts, yet deceive with them. To say "
yeah, that's right, I slept with your best friend" utilizing a
sarcastic, offended tone, may cause the listener to assume the speaker did not mean what he said, when in fact he DID.
Emergency lie
An emergency lie is a strategic lie told when the truth may not be told because, for example, harm to a third party would result. For example,
a neighbor might lie to an enraged wife about the whereabouts of her unfaithful husband, because said wife might reasonably be expected to inflict physical injury should she encounter her husband in person. Alternatively, an emergency lie could denote a (temporary) lie told to a second person because of the presence of a third.
Exaggeration
An exaggeration (see also hyperbole) occurs when the most fundamental aspects of a statement are true, but only to a certain degree. It is also seen as "
stretching the truth" or
making something appear more powerful, meaningful, or real than it actually is.
Fabrication
A fabrication is a lie told when someone submits a statement as truth, without knowing for certain whether or not it actually
is true. Although the statement may be possible or plausible, it is not based on fact. Rather, it is something made up, or it is a misrepresentation of the truth. Examples of fabrication:
A person giving directions to a tourist when the person doesn't actually know the directions. Often
propaganda is classified as a fabrication.
Jocose lie
Jocose lies are those which are meant in jest, and are usually understood as such by all present parties. Teasing and
sarcasm are examples. A more elaborate instance is seen in
storytelling traditions which are present in some places, where the humour comes from the storyteller's insistence that he or she is telling the absolute truth, despite all evidence being to the contrary (i.e.
tall tale). There is debate about whether these are "real" lies, and different philosophers hold different views.
Lie-to-children (we all get lied by our parents :P )
A lie-to-children is a lie, often a
platitude which may use
euphemism(s), which is told to make an adult subject acceptable to children.For example:
Child:Mommy,where do babies come from?
Mom:Ummm,well.......
You see now?
Lying by obsolete signage
Examples are the continued use of old stationery that has printed information such as a previous telephone number, or
advertising that remains painted on a wall after an enterprise has ceased business.
Lying by omission
One lies by omission by omitting an important fact, deliberately leaving another person with a misconception. Lying by omission includes failures to correct pre-existing misconceptions. An example is when the seller of a car declares it has been serviced regularly but does not tell that a fault was reported at the last service.
Propaganda is an example of lying by omission.
[Lying in trade
The seller of a product or service may advertise untrue facts about the product or service in order to gain sales, especially by competitive advantage. Many countries have enacted
Consumer protection laws intended to combat such fraud. An example is the
Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act that holds a seller liable for omission of any material fact that the buyer relies upon.
Misleading/Dissembling
A misleading statement is one where there is no outright lie, but still retains the purpose of getting someone to believe in an untruth. "Dissembling" likewise describes the presentation of facts in a way that is literally true, but intentionally misleading.
Noble lie
A
noble lie is one which would normally cause discord if it were uncovered, but which offers some benefit to the liar and assists in an orderly society, therefore potentially beneficial to others. It is
often told to maintain law, order and safety.
Perjury
Perjury is the
act of lying or making verifiably false statements on a material matter under oath or affirmation in a court of law, or in any of various sworn statements in writing. Perjury is a
crime, because the witness has sworn to tell the truth and, for the credibility of the court to remain intact, witness testimony must be relied on as truthful.
Puffery
Puffery is an
exaggerated claim typically found in advertising and publicity announcements, such as "the highest quality at the lowest price," or "always votes in the best interest of all the people," or "even a jeweler cannot tell it from a genuine diamond."
White lie
A white lie would cause only relatively minor discord if it were uncovered, and
typically offers some benefit to the hearer. White lies are
often used to avoid offense, such as complimenting something one finds unattractive. In this case, the lie is told to avoid the harmful realistic implications of the truth. As a concept, it is largely defined by local custom and cannot be clearly separated from other lies with any authority. White lies are usually innocent alone, but troubling in groups.
Now,do you think you know how to detect a lie?Think again.Some liars are so good at lying,you won't even realised it.Unless you force them to swear with Quran or somthg.lol
Here's how to detect a lie:
• Expressions are limited to mouth movements when someone is faking emotions (like happy, surprised, sad, awe, )instead of the whole face. For example; when someone smiles naturally their whole face is involved: jaw/cheek movement, eyes and forehead push down, etc.
• A guilty person gets defensive. An innocent person will often go on the offensive.
• A liar is uncomfortable facing his questioner/accuser and may turn his head or body away.
• A liar might unconsciously place objects (book, coffee cup, etc.) between themselves and you.
• Liars sometimes avoid "lying" by not making direct statements. They imply answers instead of denying something directly.
• The guilty person may speak more than natural, adding unnecessary details to convince you... they are not comfortable with silence or pauses in the conversation.
•
If you believe someone is lying, then change subject of a conversation quickly, a liar follows along willingly and becomes more relaxed. The guilty wants the subject changed; an innocent person may be confused by the sudden change in topics and will want to back to the previous subject.
•Liars use humor or sarcasm to avoid a subject.
P/S:
Obviously, just because someone exhibits one or more of these signs does not make them a liar. The above behaviors should be compared to a persons base (normal) behavior whenever possible.
Most lie detecting experts agree that a combination of body language and other cues must be used to make an educated guess on whether someone is telling the truth or a lie.
Some lied for the best,some lied for one's own good.But hey,let's keep to the saying,
Honesty is the best policy ! :)
Big Hug kiss kiss Little Hug,
Deeee
